Pola de Allande (Asturian: La Puela) is a town and a parish in Allande, a municipality within the province and autonomous community of Asturias, in northern Spain. It is surrounded by the Cantabrian mountains. It is the capital of the parish. The town was founded between 1262 and 1268. Oviedo, the capital of Asturias, is 104 km (65 mi) away.
